Celtics Vs Lakers ( The Rivalry )

I was fortunate to be able to attend the game yesterday afternoon which featured two of the top franchises in NBA history. The Celtics Vs Lakers is a self-explanitory game which always feels like a playoff atmosphere when you attend live. The game was excellent but what I wanted to discuss was that offensive foul that was called on Pierce for a push-off ( Which Artest deserves a grammy for selling that call so well, flying from the free throw line to the third row in the stands SMH ) It is unfortunate that some games are taken out of the players hands and controlled by the refs. I was watching ESPN First Take this morning and I would have to agree with Skip Bayless. He said at that point lil ticky tack fouls like that shouldn't be called when there's 25 seconds left in the game. Ron Artest is known as one of the more physical defenders in the NBA so for him to put on that act and fly from the foul line to the third row is just BULLSH*T!! You can't take away the incredible shot that Kobe Bryant made to give the Lakers the 90-89 victory, but that scenario wouldn't have happened if that offensive foul wasn't called on Pierce ( he made the shot too by the way ) which would have given the Celtics a 91-88 lead. It was a great game overall and the game was worth the price of admission ($160 ) because besides my celtics, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are the only other players worth paying TOP DOLLAR for.
